Jason's heart pounded not because he was being threatened but because he was forced away and he won't have enough time to go save summer. At that moment the officers' hands gripped his arms tightly. Jason didn't want to struggle but he decided to do so by struggling with the office, his face contorted with anger and frustration seeing the police officer didn't even listen to him and none of them even cared to listen. “You can’t do this! and waste my time, but let me warn you if anything happens to my friend. You're all going to pay for this!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the cold scene.his lips tightened even more as none of the police officers listened to him again.The car drove off slowly as they passed Jade and her family, who stood watching with smug expressions all focused on Jason.Jason at that moment locked deadly gaze with Jade. Her face was calm, it was as if nothing had happened and she didn't do anything, but her eyes betrayed her. There was fear there, a
The detective immediately leaned back staring at the direction of the door, his eyes widened as it were focused on Robert’s father, the City council with a smirk. Jason sat quietly in his chair, his face stoic, his eyes focused on the floor. He didn’t react to the detective's earlier attitude, not even when Robert’s father walked in, his face flushed with the urgency of summer safety that all he could think of now.“Release Jason immediately,” Robert’s father demanded, his voice firm. “The Mayor has sent me. He wants Jason out immediately.”At that moment the detective raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening into a full grin. He crossed his arms, leaning forward slightly. “The Mayor?” he chuckled, his disbelief was evident in his tone. “You expect me to believe the Mayor is interested in some local kid? How would he even know about this? You’re playing games with me, Robert, you and I know the Mayor can't be interested in this kid.”Robert’s father at that moment bristled, his
He stared at the black grains spilling out onto his desk, his anger momentarily replaced with confusion. His mind started racing as he tried to make sense of it, but there was no logical explanation. The room fell silent, the tension thick as the detective’s confusion slowly turned back into anger.“What kind of sick game are you and your friends playing?” the detective growled, his voice low and dangerous. He looked up at Jason, his eyes narrowed into slits. “You think this is funny? Sending me black sand?”He then turned to the officer who had delivered the letters, his eyes wide with fear but he managed to hide them.“You’re sure it was just a boy? Did he say anything else? apart from just this envelope” The detective's voice was shaky, betraying his fear.The officer nodded, his own face pale and filled with worry he doesn't understand what is happening. “Yes, sir. He didn’t say a word. Just handed over the envelope saying it was important and made sure you take a look at it,
The detective's sobs filled the small, his eyes were widened, his mouth were open and words refused to come out from it.More tears started streaming down his face, mixing with the cold sweat that dripped from his brow. His entire body shook with fear and desperation as he knelt again on the floor, begging for his life. Jason watched him quietly, his expression still unreadable. His face was calm, almost eerily so, as he observed the detective's breakdown. That was what he wanted so next time would teach her to do his job properly. After a moment, Jason leaned forward slightly, his voice low but clear.“Call Jade’s family” he said.“Tell them to come to the station. If they can make it here within the next five minutes, I will leave.”immediately the detective's eyes widened with a glimmer of hope even though he knew five minutes is not that much but there is hope. without wasting anymore time he scrambled to his feet, his hands still trembling as he reached for his phone. Hi
The room fell into a heavy silence as the Mayor's presence sent shockwaves through everyone standing in the interrogation room. The detective’s face drained of all color immediately he saw the mayor he knew something was wrong, his legs felt like they would give out any moment. He had already soaked his pants in fear, and now, with the Mayor standing before him, it was as if the ground beneath him had vanished.Jason remained calm; he didn't move a muscle, his eyes steady and unfazed by the sudden appearance of the Mayor. Everyone else, however, was visibly shaken. Jade’s family, who had been so confident moments before, now looked as if they had seen a ghost; they couldn't believe the mayor would come here in person.At that moment the Mayor’s gaze swept across the room, cold and authoritative. He locked eyes with the detective, who was trembling so badly that he could barely hold himself up. Just then, the detective’s phone rang, startling him. With shaky hands, he fumbled to a
upon hearing what the detective just said Jade’s family stood in stunned silence, their faces pale and drawn. They couldn’t believe what was happening. The jail term for fabricating and selling fake paintings had been set at fifty years. Jade’s father at that moment opened his mouth, his voice trembling with shock he knew because the mayor was involved that must be the reason he said so, he demanded an explanation.“Why is the sentence so high youI think I don't know the law” he said, his eyes still wide with disbelief. “This isn’t fair! You can’t do this to us! it's fair”But instead of an answer, all he got was the cold click of handcuffs snapping around his wrists. The federal police moved in swiftly, cuffing Jade’s mother, his father and jade as well. At that moment Panic set in, their faces filled with a mixture of fear and confusion they did even notice when the federal police came in. Jade’s mother whimpered, her hands shaking as she tried to process what was happening.
Summer’s eyes at the moment widened in surprise when she saw Jason walking out of the police station. She had been so worried because she knew they used to get him, she thought that he might be stuck in there for a long time about the painting and she was here to give her own little experience about the painting. But here he was, free and looked unharmed. At that moment relief washed over her, but she could tell by the look on Jason’s face that something was bothering him and she wondered what it was.At that moment Summer looked down at herself, suddenly feeling self-conscious. She was wearing tattered clothes, and her shoes were worn out. She hadn’t had time to change before rushing to the police station to see Jason, and now she felt embarrassed seeing him alright and she is dressed this way. But it was more than just her appearance—her whole demeanor was tired and defeated.Jason noticed the state summer was in and he couldn't believe she had gone through all of this just because
Hearing the noise the manager stormed out from the back room, her face flushed with irritation as she approached the scene of chaos she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Clothes were scattered across the floor and both security guards were on the floor, and we're still recovering from the scuffle with Jason.The salesgirls, stood in the position their faces twisted with a mixture of anger and smug satisfaction seeing the manager had just come in,They know she doesn't tolerate nonsense and this kind of situation would definitely trigger her to act without wasting any time in telling the manager what had happened.She stepped forward pointing her finger at Jason.“Manager, this man purposely messed up the floor with his girlfriend after we told him his girlfriend was dirtying it but he refused and decided to mess up the floor even more so I decided to go inform the security guards and he fought with them” She then gazes at the clothes on the floor.“ He did it, his actions lead t
